San Diego Democratic delegate Jess Durfee has attended the last four of his party's conventions to select the presidential nominee.Some days, he spends more than 15 hours attending meetings, luncheons and waiting for major speeches on the floor."There is nothing like attending a convention," he says.There is also nothing like the Democratic National Convention for 2020, which begins Monday. It's going all virtual in the midst of the Coronavirus outbreak. It starts with a keynote speech from Sen. Bernie Sanders, and will conclude Thursday when Joe Biden officially accepts the presidential nomination. Durfee used to attend with his San Diego counterparts. This year he was supposed to go to the convention in Milwaukee. Instead, he'll be joining from his home office in University Heights. "We would normally be seeing one another, even having breakfast together... We'd grab a couple of tables, and say 'these are San Diego tables, get away,'" he said, jokingly.The same virtual format will apply for the Republican National Convention, happening next week. Thad Kousser, a political scientist at UC San Diego, says these conventions are essentially one long political ad. The business of the party is not the priority - it's getting voters excited for November."The big question here is whether America will want to watch something that looks like the Zoom meetings many of us have been in all day," he said. But Kousser said there is intense political interest that could push up viewership. In 2016, 26 million people tuned in for the opening night of the Democratic National Convention.Durfee said if there is a drop off in viewership for the Democrats, he expects the same issue next week when the Republicans hold their convention. 1752

SAN DIEGO, Calif. — For months, we’ve seen face masks in places they shouldn’t be: storm drains, streets, beaches, and parks.Now, we’re learning just how many could be flooding our oceans.“Once plastic enters the marine environment, it’s very difficult to move," said Dr. Teale Phelps Bondaroff, director of research for OceansAsia. The marine conservation group has been tracking the number of face masks washing up on a remote island south of Hong Kong since the pandemic started. “About six weeks after COVID hit Hong Kong, so late February, we began finding masks, and lots of masks," said Bondaroff. “What’s remarkable is we weren’t finding face masks before COVID.”Masks are made with polypropylene, which Bondaroff describes as thin fibers of plastic."The fact that we are starting to find masks that are breaking up indicates that this is a real problem, that microplastics are being produced by masks," he said.These tiny pieces of plastic can remain in the ocean for hundreds of years, threatening fish and even polluting the air.“The question that we couldn’t answer was how many are entering our oceans? We just didn’t know," said Dr. Bondaroff. OceansAsia launched a study to find the answer and recently shared its findings. Of the estimated 52 billion masks manufactured globally in 2020, it's believed 1.56 billion will enter our oceans this year, resulting in an additional 4,680 to 6,240 metric tonnes of marine plastic pollutionBondaroff says the report used a conservative loss rate of 3 percent, and the average weight of 3 to 4 grams for a single-use polypropylene surgical face mask, to arrive at the estimate.“The 1.56 billion face masks that have entered our oceans in 2020 are there for the long run. They will remain in the ocean for 450 years or more, and they’ll break into smaller pieces.”The report notes global sales of face masks surged from around 0 million in 2019 to 6 billion in 2020.“That’s important, we need to keep people safe, but at the same time that has a lasting impact on our environment, and we’re seeing that on the beaches," said Bondaroff. And he says, unfortunately, this problem makes up only a small fraction of the plastic pollution invading our oceans.The report asks people to wear reusable masks whenever possible, dispose of masks responsibly and reduce their overall consumption of single-use plastic. It also calls on governments to:Implement policies designed to encourage the use of reusable masks, such as releasing guidelines regarding the proper manufacture and use of reusable masks.Foster innovation and the development of sustainable alternatives to single-use plastic masks.Discourage littering by increasing fines, and educate the public about responsible ways to dispose of masks.Repair and improve waste management systems to reduce losses and spillage. 2840

SAN DIEGO (KGTV)—This May, 10News is celebrating Asian Pacific American Heritage Month by featuring several stories of the Asian-Pacific-Islander experience in San Diego.During World War II, nearly 120,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans living on the West Coast were forcibly removed from their homes and sent to desolate incarceration camps.One of those internment survivors lives in La Jolla today. She shared her story about a beloved city librarian who gave her hope, while she lived behind bars.It was a different time. No computers. No internet. Just the Dewey Decimal System. The San Diego Public Library was not a downtown skyscraper. At its helm was Miss Clara Estelle Breed. “She was here for 25 years,” Special Collections Librarian Rick Crawford said. “It’s the longest tenure for a librarian we’ve had here as a Head Librarian.”Crawford remembers a woman with a lifelong love of literature. She was instrumental in modernizing the city’s multiple branch system, he said. But perhaps her greatest legacy was borne from conflict. On December 7, 1941, Imperial Japanese planes attacked Pearl Harbor. The bombings and suicide attacks destroyed hundreds of American military ships and aircraft and killed more than 2,400 people on Oahu Island. “Life changed for not only me but everyone,” Elizabeth Kikuchi Yamada remembered. She was a 12-year-old San Diegan when the attack took place in Hawaii.Suddenly, everyone who looked like Elizabeth was deemed the enemy. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066 forced anyone of Japanese ancestry, American citizens included, into incarceration camps. This was ordered in reaction to the Pearl Harbor attacks, with the intention of preventing espionage on American shores. “I was fearful,” Kikuchi said. The Kikuchi’s had one week to pack and report to Santa Fe Station in Downtown San Diego. There, the 12-year-old saw a familiar face.“Clara had given everyone postcards saying, ‘write to me,’” Kikuchi remembered. Breed was passing out hundreds of pre-stamped postcards and letter sets to children at the station, pleading with them to stay in touch.During this time, Breed was San Diego’s Children’s Librarian. Many of her visitors were Japanese American children; kids she cared for deeply.“She really fought resistance from the local community and of course the national opinion,” Crawford said. “I think she was very concerned about their future.”So the correspondence began, first from the converted horse stables at the Santa Anita Assembly Center. This was where more than 18,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans were first sent while their more permanent internment camps were being built. “Dear Miss Breed,” Kikuchi read her imperfect cursive. “How are you getting along? Now that school is started, I suppose you’re busy at the library.”In return, Breed always sent books and little trinkets to the dozens of children who wrote to her. This continued, even after the San Diego group was transferred to Poston Internment Camp in Arizona. There, Clara became their lifeline to the outside world. “I took the book “House for Elizabeth,” and it kept me from being lonesome,” Kikuchi said. Lonesome, staring at the desolate Arizona landscape. But that book gave Elizabeth a sense of belonging. “It’s like she read my mind. She knew I needed a house,” Kikuchi said, hugging the book. She never threw it away.Three years later, the war ended, and the Japanese Americans were released from the incarceration camps. In the following decades, Elizabeth and Clara Breed remained close friends. Before her death in 1994, Clara gave Elizabeth all of her saved letters and trinkets. They have since been donated as artifacts to the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles, CA. Clara Breed was a lifelong Miss, who had no children of her own. But she touched the lives of many. They were the innocent Japanese American children who remember the brave woman who met wartime hysteria and xenophobia with love. This legacy, Kikuchi said, would live on forever. “Clara cared about helping young people know that there was freedom beyond imprisonment,” Kikuchi said. “Freedom of the mind to grow and freedom of the heart to deepen. She gave us all of that.”Years later, the FBI concluded that there was not a single instance of disloyalty or espionage committed by the nearly 120,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans imprisoned in the ten internment camps across mainland United States. In fact, around 33,000 Japanese Americans served in the American military during WWII, while their families remained imprisoned. The Japanese internment camps are considered one of the most egregious violations of American civil rights in the 20th century. President Ronald Reagan signed the Civil Liberties Act in 1988 to give a formal apology for the atrocities. This legislation offered each living internment survivor ,000 in compensation. 4909

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A man suspected of gunning down a California policeman was in the U.S. illegally and was captured while planning to flee to his native Mexico, a sheriff announced as he all but blamed the state's sanctuary law for the officer's death.A two-day statewide manhunt ended Friday with the arrest of Gustavo Perez Arriaga, who came out with his hands up as a SWAT team prepared to raid a home in Bakersfield, California. That was about 200 miles (320 kilometers) southeast of where Cpl. Ronil Singh was shot before dawn Wednesday.Singh had stopped a suspected drunken driver in the town of Newman when he was fatally wounded and managed to fire back but didn't hit his attacker, authorities have said.RELATED: Suspect wanted in Newman cop killing arrested near BakersfieldPerez Arriaga was taken into custody using the slain officer's handcuffs, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said.Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson, who led the investigation, blamed California's sanctuary law for preventing local authorities from reporting Perez Arriaga to U.S. immigration officials for deportation after two previous drunken driving arrests."We can't ignore the fact that this could have been preventable," Christianson told reporters, asking why the state was "providing sanctuary for criminals (and) gang members. It's a conversation we need to have."Christianson called for stricter laws at a news conference as Singh's brother wept beside him.RELATED: New photos released in search for Newman Police officer's killerPerez Arriaga crossed the border in Arizona several years ago and had worked a variety of jobs as a laborer, including at several dairies. The 33-year-old had gang affiliations and multiple Facebook pages with different names, Christianson said.The shooting came amid an intense political fight over immigration, with President Donald Trump and congressional Democrats at odds over funding for a border wall that has forced a partial government shutdown.Trump tweeted about Singh's killing Thursday, saying it was "time to get tough on Border Security. Build the Wall!"California's sanctuary law limits cooperation between local authorities and U.S. immigration officials and has drawn scorn from the Trump administration. It includes more than 800 exceptions for violent crimes and felonies and bars police from asking people about their citizenship status.There is right now a full scale manhunt going on in California for an illegal immigrant accused of shooting and killing a police officer during a traffic stop. Time to get tough on Border Security. Build the Wall!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 27, 2018 2672
